Bighorn Sheep
Being Trapped
To Save Herds
COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO.—
The Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep,
normally a carefree animal which
asks nothing more of life than a
chestful of fresh air and a few sim
ple vittles, is learning that life can
be hideous.
The state game and fish depart
ment has rigged up a fancy Fu
Manchu type trap near here to
kidnap the bighorns from the
mother herd.
This trap consists of a drop-gate
which spans the natural walls of
Tarryall canyon, and 100 j ards of
wire stretched up one canyon wall
to a point of concealment. The
sheep trot through the gate into the
dead end of the canyon, someone
yanks the wire and the gate falls
behind them.
Next morning the bighorns find
themselves a couple of hundred
miles upstafe, birking their shins
°U a & unfamiliar rocks,
minus many of their dearest rela
tives, dry-mouthed from the bait
of salt that lured them into the
drop gate trap, and probably hating
themselves.

Actually it’s all for the good of
the bighorns, but you can under
stand their embarrassment.
The game and fish department
has "transplanted" some 17 groups
from the Tarryall herd, establish
ing new herds throughout the
Rockies in Colorado. The idea ia
simple. There are about * 1,000
sheep m the mother herd near here
and the food supply (lichens,
leaves and shrubs) runs thin at
times.
George W Jones, the depart
ment's sheeptrapping technician,
says the Job is a ticklish one for
several reasons.
"When you spring the trap you
don't want mors than 17 sheep in
side it." he says "That’s about
all we can crowd into our truck
at one time.
"We try to snare two big. old
rams, two young rams, and the
rest ewes That gives you an ideal
start on a new herd after the trans
planting The old rams are smart
and can keep the herd out of
trouble. Then when the old rams
knee interest in the ewes, the young
ones are beginning to get family
ideas"

Franklin Will Rtvials Ben
Was Wialthy at Ap of 42
PHILADELPHIA. PA.-In a will
written in 1757, Be'-’amin Franklin
intended to leave > s wealth and
personal belongin > to relatives,
friends and institutions.
This was disclosed when the long
lost will was made public by the
Franklin institute as part of the
celebration of its 125th anniversary.
It also was the 200th anniversary
of Franklin's discovery that light
ning was electrical.
Franklm was wealthy when h#
quit business at the age of 42. Dr.
Robert A. Millikan, California In
stitute of Technology, said the phi
losopher retired with an income of
about $15,000 a year, which he
termed equal to approximately $50,-
000 today.
He willed various small amounts
of money, property and personal
belongings to members of his fam
ily.
All of his household goods and
furniture were willed to his wife to
dispose of as she desired. Income
from his printing business, which
he owned jointly with David Hall,
was divided equally among his
wife, son William and daughter
Sarah.
He also provided that in event of
his wife’s death and no offspring
had been bom to his children, the
printing business income should go
to the children and grandchildren
of his brothers and sisters.
His wife was willed two houses
and lots on Market street in Phila
delphia. Another house in Boston
was to go to hi* youngest sister.
Jane Mecom. At the time of the will
Franklin held the mortgage on the
Boston house, occupied by his eldest
sister, Elizabeth Douse.
